Had lunch with a couple of friends and one of them brought a Game Gear along, wondering if anything could be done with it. Power LED only, nothing else.

An absolute labour of love, or stubbornness, depending on how you look at it. This came from Japan in a sorry state: corrosion, missing components, broken traces and a RAM package with broken legs. The Mega Drive side eventually came back to life, but the Mega-CD side continues to freeze on the BIOS animation, defying everything thrown at it so far.

This Game Gear went through a lot. A full IPS mod with speaker, FM module and glass lens, then a trip to the floor courtesy of a curious one year old that tore the flex cables. A clock line bodge wire and a barely-surviving TP10 pad later, everything was restored.

Two heavily contaminated Game Gears, so badly that components were falling off the boards from the electrolyte. Many hours in, one has a partially defective screen and the other boots and plays audio with no picture. A partial result after a massive effort.
